2-Amino-5-bromopyridine → Ethyl [(5-bromopyridin-2-yl)carbamothioyl]carbamate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-amino-5-bromopyridine (5.0 g, 29 mmol) in dioxane (60 mL) was added ethoxycarbonylisothiocyanate (3.4 mL, 29 mmol) in a dropwise manner and the mixture was allowed to stir for 18 h at room temperature. The mixture was then concentrated and the residue triturated with 10% ethyl acetate in hexanes. The solid was collected by filtration and dried to afford ethyl {[(5-bromopyridin-2-yl)amino]carbonothioyl}carbamate (6.2 g, 69%) as a colorless solid. MS (EI) for C9H10BrN3O2S: 305 (MH+).
